Matrix LED Drivers

The ISSI family of matrix LED drivers has been evolving to meet ever-expanding customer requirements. The first-generation matrix driver evolved to the second generation by incorporating an enhanced I2C bus interface. The third generation built on the success of Gen 1 and 2 to support even more LEDs, include detection/reporting of LED open or short faults and simplifies RGB LED support.

ISSI’s family of matrix LED drivers have been a success in the RGB gaming keyboard space. These drivers expand the matrix LED market by introducing its advantages and features to the control panel segment: white goods appliances, mixer panel, small backlight, and automotive applications.
